Hatfield i was very, very nave because i thought it meant that i had a choice laughs mark you wanted to go to a specific place that did have neurosurgeons. Hatfield but instead was sent to a place that didnt have one. And that was at least just one of 30 times hatfield was bounced back and forth between phone calls and visits over 19 months between the va, the Choice Program, the clinic he wanted, and the clinic they sent him to. Hatfield its crazy. And vets across the nation had similar experiences. With pleas for help coming from colorado springs, maine, tampa all documenting how vets in the Choice Program still experience long wait appointments Mark Greenblatt scripps National Investigative correspondent runs 1 34 1 46 but whistleblowers say its intentional.

Susan ware has worked for 16 years in neurosurgery. And is one of 34 whistleblowers we heard from at the cincinnati va she says dr. Barbara temeck, the acting chief of staff, began to squeeze employees out from neurosurgery ware . Before dr. Temeck came, we didnt have a backlog of problems with appointments. But ware says in 2014, temeck began looking at closing neurosurgery, and requested a cost benefit analysis. And we uncovered internal documents which reveal annually million to keep neurosurgery in house and an additional 4 7 million to send patients outside the va. But emails weve obtained show the hospital faced. A potential large budget deficit and in feb of 2015 staff was told by regional director jack hetrick to find ways to. Improve operations and efficiency he said. The status quo is not an option. Two months after that email ware says temeck. Ware . Called an emergency meeting at 730 at night with the surgeons. And, according to what i was told, she closed the service. Whistleblowers say other services were hit too. Dr. Richard freiberg former chief of orthopedics runs 3 25 3 29 i think this is shift of expense making the local Institution Look good. Former chief of orthopedics Richard Freiberg says temeck targeted all of the hospitals surgical specialists in hip, shoulder, and knee replacements. Freiberg we were told that we were going to be reduced to 1 and we confirmed last year just 54 hip shoulder and knee replacements took place in the hospital with 769 orthopedic referrals to choice. Dr. Temeck declined to comment. Regional director jack hetrick would only speak to us, off camera. Mark if someone doesnt receive neurosurgery at the cincinnati va, or the cincinnati va was paying for it previously, now they can go to choice and another pot of cash would pay for it. Hetrick i guess you can look at it that way, sure. Mark is, under your leadership then is there a pattern and practice of not filling positions so that veterans go into the Choice Program . Hetrick absolutely not. U. S. Rep. House Veterans Affairs committee runs 4 05 4 13 what i dont want to see is jeff miller of florida chairs the House Committee on veteran affairs. Hes a big supporter of choice, and privatizing care to reduce wait times. But not like this.
